I had an interesting day at the local range Friday so I thought you guys would be interested.
First I took my M111 LRH. in 6.5 x .284 Norma apart and removed the Accu. - Wedge then cleaned the latex from the action area and bedding block, then re assembled it and torqued the two remaining screws down to 40"lbs. and shot two 5 shot groups with a known good load. the first grouped into 1.160" and the next grouped into 1.410". These loads have shot into .510'' to .550'' several times, I then put the Accu - Wedge back in and torqued it down to 42" lbs.
Then I shot several more groups the largest was .710" all others were at .50'' or less with all bullets tried. The Wedge does work!. It took about 150 rounds to get the barrel broken in and shooting tight groups.
My stock finish is peeling off when I rub it it comes off easily it looks like latex or some type of thin rubber coating. I called Savage and they asked for the S/N#,The woman told me to send them my stock and they will send me a new one. The LRH is shooting so good now that I don,t want to send it back just yet! It shot so well that it put 5 into one ragged hole that measured .144" not to bad.
